• Be the local category expert: Deeply understand the Chinese restaurant landscape in Scotland, innovating new ideas to keep Deliveroo ahead of the competition.

What You’ll Need to Thrive

Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:

• Commercial experience: Proven professional experience in Sales or Account Management, preferably within a high-growth or dynamic environment.

• Data-driven mindset: Comfortable using data to tell a story, identify trends, and back up commercial recommendations.

• Exceptional people skills: A high level of emotional intelligence and the ability to build trust with diverse stakeholders, from independent owners to larger groups.

• Autonomy and grit: A self-starter attitude with the ability to work independently while travelling to meet partners across the Scottish region.
